Revised favourite names

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I've revised my lists of favourite names, so here are my top ten for each gender. The further they are down the list, the less likely I would be to use them on a kid.

Girls
1. Norah
2. Margaret
3. Camilla
4. Elizabeth
5. Elise
6. Neta (pr. NEE-ta)
7. Evangeline
8. Emmeline (I love this name, but everyone would think it was Emily)
9. Greta
10. Tessa

Boys
1. Owen
2. Nathaniel
3. Colin
4. Cameron
5. Andrew
6. Ryan
7. Justin
8. Evan
9. James
10. Michael

Someone else was doing this in a post, so why not? Guess my age based on my favourite names! No cheating and going to my profile. :P

Is Emmeline pronounced Em-uh-leen or Em-uh-line? Or neither, haha?

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I'd pronounce it 'Em-uh-leen', but I don't see why it couldn't be pronounced 'Em-uh-line' as well. :P

I really like the name Camilla.
But I prefer Nora to Norah and Tessa has just been ruined for me.

I also think I'm one of the few people who likes the name Owen. Cameron is my little brother's name and I'm glad it's number 4.

I love Norah.

Great list!
I especially like Elizabeth, Elise, Tessa and James.

So rare for me to see a list without a single name on it that makes me wonder why anyone would want to land some poor child with it - A+ from me!

Gretta is on my list, I also like Norah and Colin.

Elizabeth and Emmeline (Em-uh-leen) are my top two favorite girls names.

Nice list!

I love your name lists. Emmaline (emma-line) is my current favorite girls name. I'd never considered the emma-leen variation and wouldn't use it myself but I do like it. Evangeline and Nora are also way up there. And I'm nuts for Nathaniel and Colin.

I like all your girls' names, except Neta (?). I love Camilla.

And I like almost all of your boys' names (Cameron and Ryan are the only exceptions). Justin and Evan are my favorites from your list.

Just so you know, you win at life for having the name Evangeline on your list.

This is TOO weird, lookin down your list of boys names..

Owen - ex boyfriend
Cameron - brother
Justin - ex boyfriend
Evan - best friends boyfriend
Michael - boyfriend

Woah!

I was gonna say you could tell them that Emaline don't walk in time, to avoid confusion, but given your preferred pronunciation, I'll skip that.

Or Emmeline, as the case may be.
